Connectors

~ or -> = Immediately after.

Example: "Strong~Fierce" or "Strong->Fierce" means press Fierce IMMEDIATELY after Strong.

+ - Simultaneously with: all actions should be performed at the same time.

Example: F+MK = Press towards and medium kick
Example: Jab+Strong = Press Jab and Strong

, = Combo, Link: A combo is a sequence of attacks that puts your opponent in enough blockstun or hitstun to follow up with another attack. Combos put an opponent in automatic hitstun or blockstun for the duration of the entire combo. Combos cannot be interrupted at all.

Example: Dee Jay's crouching Jab, crouching Jab
Example: Dee Jay's jumping Roundhouse, standing Strong xx Fierce Max Out.

A link is a sequence of attacks that puts your opponent in enough hitstun or block stun, so that the next attack in the link starts up fast enough to catch the opponent trying to interrupt the link with an attack. Links can be interrupted by invincible attacks, some non-invincible attacks and throws. All combos are links, but not all links are combos.
Example: Dictator's standing Forward, standing Forward
Example: Dictator's Short Scissor Kicks, standing Short

xx = Cancel: a cancel is performed when a Normal Attack is cancelled into a Special or Super Attack. Not all Normals can be cancelled into Specials or Supers.

Example: Sagat's close standing Strong xx Roundhouse Tiger Shot
Example: Sagat's crouching Forward xx Super Attack (Tiger Genocide)

/\ = Jump: clarifies transition from ground to air actions.

Example: Knee Bash /\ j.Jab = Follow Knee Bash with a jumping Jab

\/ = Land: clarifies transition from air to ground actions.

Example: j.Fierce \/ cr.Short = Follow jumping Fierce with a crouching Short

cr. - Crouching - the following move should be performed in the crouching position (hold D, DB or DF on the stick). Example: cr.Fierce, perform a Fierce while crouching.
j. - Jumping - the following move should be performed while jumping through the air (hold U, UB or UF on the stick). Example: j.Fierce, perform a Fierce while jumping.
cl. - Close - the following attack should be performed very close to the opponent in the standing position so that the close animation of the attack activates. Example: cl.Fierce, perform a standing Fierce while very close to the opponent.
n. - Neutral - usually used to mean a neutral jump, which is a jump performed while holding U on the stick, and not UF or UB. Example: n.j.Fierce, perform a Fierce while jumping straight up. Neutral can also mean to not hold any direction on the stick. Example: Guile's n.Forward can only be performed while not holding any direction on the stick and pressing Forward.

Hitbox Images

All Hitbox Images captured by Rufus on XBOX360, training mode, speed zero, hitboxes on, using video capture device Canopus ADVC 100 and edited with Kino. Many thanks Rufus.

Blue boxes = vulnerable areas where the character can be hit.
No blue boxes = character cannot be hit at all (invincible).
Red boxes = offensive areas where the character can hit his opponent. A hit occurs when a red box overlaps the opponent's blue box.

Frame Data

Some of the attacks in Remix were changed from their Classic versions, sped up or slowed down, and as a result, the frame data was changed. This is a list of changes that (probably) had their frame data changed. The list is based on David Sirlin's balance articles.

Consensus Matchup Chart
This is a matchup chart originally created by Thelo to aggregate the matchup rating opinions of most players, with strong players getting more weight in their opinion. The numbers come from all over the SRK HDR forum, and from Thelo's personal discussions with other players. The chart is updated as he gets new opinions. The SRK Consensus Matchup thread.

Each A-B matchup rating means the average number of games that a strong player of character A would win against an equally skilled player of character B, in a hypothetical series of 10 games. For instance, if Ryu has a rating of 7 against E. Honda, that means that the Ryu player would win 7 games out of 10, on average (so Ryu has advantage over E. Honda). This chart is sorted by total points.
